I haven't seen anyone or found anyone who doesn't look at their face atleast once in day or more.Specially girls, face is like their bank full of cash and looking at it is like taking care of it day to day.And their attitude towards acne or pimples are the same as a robber looting a bank.LOL. Jokes apart what i meant to say is they take it so serious that sometimes they can do anything to get rid of it ASAP.
Acne or pimple is a skin condition or some say skin disorder due to Hormones.Mostly young adults and teenagers suffer higher than others.Acne develops when the follicle that carries dead skin to the skin surface becomes clogged (black heads and white heads).Anyone can have this as their is no restrictions and even it is not life threatening it can be upsetting.

Causes:

Acne breakouts are caused when microscopic holes within the skin, referred to as follicles of hair, become plugged.Sebaceous glands are tiny glands found close to the surface of your skin. The glands are connected to hair follicles, that are small holes within your skin that the individual hair grows out of.Sebaceous glands lubricate the hair and the skin to stop it drying out. This is done by producing an oily material called sebum.In acne, the glands begin to generate an excessive amount of sebum. The extra sebum mixes with dead skin cells and both substances form a plug in the follicle.
If the plugged follicle is near to the surface of the skin, it'll bulge outwards, making a whitehead. Alternatively, the plugged follicle can be open to the skin, making a blackhead.Normally harmless bacteria that live on the skin can then contaminate and infect the plugged follicles, causing papules, pustules, nodules or cysts.

Facts:
